I lost my MIND when I met Dr. Cornel West. I had all of his books before the storm. I also met Tavis Smiley, BBD(years ago), Monica(she was really down to Earth), Immature, the guy who played Cochise in Cooley High(lOL). that was so funny. He started talking to us and asked me if I was OK. All I could say is "How was it to play Joe Jackson?"

I met Oprah when I was really young, maybe 9 or 10 year old. I was with my dad in some building in Chicago. She was walking down the hall in a gown, there was some type of Gala going on, and she came over to speak to us.

Nikki Giovanni back in 2004 (or 2005) when she visited my campus.

Barack and Michelle Obama at the Bud Billiken (sp?) parade in Chicago (2004) during his Senate campaign.

Marlon and Shawn Wayans back in Cleveland (Randall Park Mall) when I was in middle school.

Yolanda King, a year before she passed.

I used to work for a radio station so I have met way more enteratiners and famous people than I can remember. But my most memorable encounter was way before I began working in radio...

I was in highschool, it was late 1996 I met Jay-Z . This was before Jay-Z was Jigga, Hova, and what ever other names he has called himself in the last 12 years. He had just come out with his first album Reasonable Doubt ( which in my opinion is one of his best albums) and he was doing a promotional tour. I was at a college recruitment event and they had a party/concert that night. my friend and I were wandering trying to find the bathroom. I heard voices coming from one of the rooms and with my nosey self I had to see who it was. I peaked my head in and much to my surprise it was Jay-Z and crew! I remember he had a great sense of humor, and he was very down to earth.I wanted an autograph and of course being 16 at the time I didn't have anything to write with so he took a napkin and wrote a small note. I was on a natural high for like a month!!!
